Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF; declare exact percentages on entry
• Provide mill test certificate for yarn number (43-68) and weight ≤200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no bleaching or finishing; unbleached state required—common pitfall is misdeclaring processed fabrics
